Everyone knows to get out of soft sand you just shove the floor mats under it to get it going

[mgibbs88]

Somebody push, I'll steer

[steve3711]

Tupid tankers

[ATLOffroad]

The Army has all the fun.

[dmacid]

Dont ever send these to Russia. They wont make it 50 yards down the muddy Russian terrain. 

[lolackay]

"Guys, i think we are stuck"

[xCh34pShOtx]

"James, get the fuck out push"

[RaptorDiablo]

The ground is such a pussy. man up >:c

[Handleitson]

So jumping up in down on the back of the Tank didn't work ah' fellas?

[IDFArmor]

wow... it sucks so hard when that happens...

Merkavas are a bit heavier then abrams, plus with mine protective plates at the bottom, when one got stuck you needed like 2 D9 bulldozers to get it out,,,

i think we need one of those recovery vehicles...

[Nickael7]

@IDFArmor Merkava-4 are actually 65 tons, 5 tons less to abrams M1A2.

[renster143]

yea go mechanics in the 88!! 91 alpha baby

[ZachDRUMMOND]

That sucks.

[mra2z]

What does an m1 weigh? 70 tons?

[LostHemingway]

@mra2z Yes about 70 tons

[lfcdave8]

@LostHemingway what do you say about the M1, do you recommend it as the best tank in the world?

[Rooster1Cogburn]

@LostHemingway Yep, at 67.6 short tons, the Abrams is a heavyweight. After all, the heaviest tank ever to come upon the battlefield was the King Tiger at 76.9 short tons.

[panzerstrelok]

@LostHemingway hmm, its about 70 a m1 weight is always descibed in long tons, a leo2a6 is 62.3 tons a

a m1a2 is 61.3 normal tons so its not as heavy as "discovery" wants it, and a leo is actualy 0.5 m higer than an m1 it has the same protection, a leo tackes heat beter, a m1 tackels Ke Rods beter

[manager96ful]

@LostHemingway m1 weigh 54 tons

[johney77420]

@LostHemingway i must know, what branch of the military are you?

[TheDjBlitzification]

@johney77420 he is a US Marine. or was he is out of the service now.

[tryithere]

You gave me an idea for an invention, the submarine tank. Like those animals in the Kevin Bacon movie, only a tank.

[popsnacks2]

wait so as i was reading a comment of your i saw how you said its your tank. if your implying you are a tanker then thats AWESOME..if not....this is still AWESOME

[LostHemingway]

@popsnacks2 Yes, it was my tank.

[popsnacks2]

@LostHemingway thats so cool....

[ottoramsaig]

@LostHemingway Excellent vis. M88 crew should have been buttoned up. I have seen wenching cables break. Good job boys: 19K40H8

[joejoemorgan]

If you don't want them to get stuck in the mud, don't drive them in the mud.

[flipty651]

That is a STRONG ass chain!

[FriutloopTom]

When did the word 'brakes' hit the pilots mind?

[coolstuffplus]

lol may be 67 tons is really too much

[Predatorizle]

man that's some weird terrain, it's look dry and sollid but onderneath it's muddy as heck it seems.

what pulled you out? a breacher?

[LostHemingway]

@Predatorizle

The terrain was quite strange. On the surface, it looks totally dry and solid.. In reality, it's like a dried out marsh/lake bed.

The M88 tank recovery vehicle pulled us out.

[kamphwagon1]

@LostHemingway Looks like he's winching it out not pulling LOL:)

[52111centrumcz]

@LostHemingway

See if you were moving in T-55s, you wouldn't have this problem :-P

Much lighter/same area of tracks.

[LostHemingway]

@52111centrumcz haha.... very true! Although I suppose we'd then have to fear RPG's and know our tank is completely impotent in battle, but yes, not as heavy!

[LostHemingway]

We were out there by ourselves for a couple days on the Syrian border before the tank was pulled out.

3 other tanks were stuck at other spots.

Kind of eerie setting up for the night without any close support.

[mcbraynor]

You were the guys in the tank? Weren't you supposed to follow a road or something? (just asking)

[BitnikGr]

@mcbraynor Tanks are equipped with tracks exactly for that reason. To NOT follow roads. In Iraq and Afghanistan following roads = IED blasting!

[KonstantinKuehn]

looks like u need some snow shoes on that tank!

[KonstantinKuehn]

lol sucks!
